To better facilitate human-autonomy teaming (HAT) in the future hybrid society, my research entwines communication, cooperation, and coevolution between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). Specifically, I model trust in human-AI real-time communications, social interactions, and long-term dynamics in safety-critical domains. My research findings further the understanding of trust in HAT and provide broader design implications for conversational robots, safety policy for autonomous vehicles, and theoretical frameworks for safe-critical sociotechnical systems.

I am a Research Professor in the School of Cybersecurity and Privacy at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the principal investigator of the CSAFA lab. My research interests include hardware-assisted cyber security, cyber-attack-resilient systems, and fundamental Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning concepts.

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. I received my Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from Northwestern University and my undergraduate degrees in Applied Mathematics and Psychology from UCLA.

My research program combines visual perception, cognition, and data visualization. By investigating how humans perceive, interpret, and make decisions from visualized data, I answer questions such as "what are the underlying perceptual and cognitive processes when people make sense of data visualizations?", and "how can we design an effective visualization or tell a good story with data?".

As to how to pronounce my last name...The 'X' makes a "sh" sound so you can pronounce it as "shown," as in "they have shown an eager desire to work with Cindy because her research sounds so interesting."

I am currently an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech’s School of Literature, Media, and Communication in the Digital Media Department. Happiest when I’m learning and exploring, I have a background in English Literature, fine arts, web and UX design and research. I believe design is uniquely positioned to build the world around us on many levels and therefore I seek ways to design to shift definitions, hold multiple perspectives, and foster sustainability and equity.

Richmond Wong is an Assistant Professor in Digital Media, where he runs the Creating Ethics Infrastructures Lab.

His research focuses on understanding the social values, ethical issues, and work involved in technology production and use. Specifically, he studies how technology professionals address ethical issues in their work, and how to create the social and organizational conditions that can help support technologists to make ethical decisions. He also develops design-centered approaches to engage groups that create or are impacted by digital technology, to proactively discuss and consider ethical issues related to technology such as privacy or fairness. Richmond's work utilizes qualitative and design-based methods, drawing from science and technology studies, speculative design, and human-computer interaction. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of California Berkeley School of Information, and a postdoc at the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity.

Cindy Lin is the Stephen Fleming Early Career Assistant Professor at the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. She is the director of Critical Technocultures Lab. Prior to her professorship at Georgia Tech, she was an assistant professor at the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability and the Department of Information Science. She was also a Digital Life Initiative Visiting Fellow at Cornell Tech.  

Cindy’s (she/her) research centers on the data practices, exchanges, and expertise of climate change and their relationship to environmental governance in Indonesia and the United States.

Cindy’s current book project examines how environmental data and AI are used to map and predict land and fires on Indonesia’s tropical peatland, the world’s largest terrestrial natural carbon store. Drawing from 3 years of ethnographic research with government ministries and agencies in Jakarta and with North American technology firms contracted as service providers to these institutions, I show that what started out as a state-driven initiative to monitor fire risk from afar transformed into a set of computing and labor-intensive efforts to stabilize fires.
